VG SAGA

2011-03-15T18:14:00.001-07:00

As far as anything I posted regarding VG it is all true. It is sad, but, denial is deep and friends enable. I know far far more about such things as I would ever wish to. The cruelty towards non english speaking citizens was in print....sad.

Ahead of my goals at work!

2011-03-01T18:33:00.000-08:00

Holy moly I did so well at work today! I got two people to sign for Gap CC's yay and they were really nice people to boot. I had a great time chatting with people and putting some outfits together, giving some advice on fit of clothing. There was a girl going for some big interviews in NYC and Boston as a Biologist. My only hope is for a few more hours at the Gap and for the price of gas to go down a bit...hehehe.

I had one amazing amazing customer, however, she bought nothing and didn't open a credit card. She was two years old and named Micah. I was able to snap a picture of her black and brown furry German Shepherd body!!! How exciting is that...yay.

No not arressted

2011-02-28T13:21:00.000-08:00

I just had to say I'm not arrested! My sister and I thought your charade of "Tracey is in big trouble and might be arrested" was very funny".

I also wanted to let any of you MS ladies know that on FB check out ASB voice as there is some great stuff on the lawsuit. I'm learning a lot and find the people there very nice and a great change from the MS ladies.

Working at the Gap is super super fun

2011-02-28T13:14:00.000-08:00

I really love working at the Gap! I can't say I love all the clothes totally 100%, but, that is ok so I'm not totally compelled to want to buy everything in sight. For some reason looking at the jeans and talking with the people and seeing what they picked out sort of satisfies my shopping urge a bit. I also love walking down the neat sidewalks after work with a latte in hand it sort of feels like a tiny slice of Boston. I actually have not one, but, two wonderful coffee shops right across the street from me. Hanover is really such a great town with great people.

I had a wonderful experience helping a young overweight girl find some jeans to fit her. She was so sweet and had tried on every jean we had except the "Always Skinny" which she probably was put off by the name but I convinced her to try them and they did fit her and she was very thankful. I know what it is like to be made fun of so I had a great deal of empathy for her. I felt so amazing when she found her jeans!

I made an error in my website above it should be www.shoptherev.com sorry!

In style with my style

2011-02-19T18:15:00.000-08:00

So today I trotted off to my job at the Gap wearing a funk T from New Orleans which happens to be a gift from a dear friend. I topped it with a black hooded warm sweater that had fur sleeves and a tailored jacked from Neiman Marcus. I wore some boot cut jeans designed by Levis with patent leather Lucchesse cowboy boots. Large silver hoops and a large silver flat cocktail ring finished off my accesories although my final and most important accessory was my trusty Lattes from Dirt Cowboy Cafe.

I have to admit I enjoy Gap style, nut, www.rocktherev.com is far more my style. I always maintain though in order to complete the whole look of this eclectic style you really need the basics that Gap provides as you can't have to many signature items or you end up looking like you are wearing a big mess. Anybody that checks out the above website make sure you look at the events and see the amazing Oscar night party that looks so amazing!!

Thank you Modern Saddlebred ladies!

2011-02-19T16:25:00.000-08:00

I just want to give a super huge thanks to my ladies at Modern Saddlebred for increasing traffice to my Blog. You don't have to print the truth, but, what you are saying sounds really good and juicy which is just what I need! People will be tuning in expecting me to be arrested at any moment for not participating in Secret Santa from 2009. I love you ladies so very much.

Modern Saddlebred ladies

2011-02-18T19:33:00.001-08:00

Oh boy the Modern Saddlebred ladies got restless and dragged up SS from 2009! You would think they would have moved past that event by now although perhaps the fact that they are once again getting chubby has something to do with it. I believe that Trot is still closed down so I guess that somebody got bored and I admit it is kind of fun to have some giggles and gives me lots to write about. I wonder what sort of tragedy will happen next....will somebody lose a lead strap or eat three cookies instead of two or will Vlayne throw a fit and leave Modern Saddlebred because somebody didn't love her picture.....you just never know does one.

Working at the Gap

2011-02-18T16:20:00.000-08:00

So working at the Gap is really a lot of fun. I love talking and interacting with the customers so very much. A couple of peole are asking me for advice on what to buy and what size I think they are. This suits me quite a bit quite frankly. I enjoy the location and I even find the walk from parking to job rather zippy and peppy also and strangly energizing. We really need to push push those credit cards so I'm sort of getting my rythem in that which is fine it just takes a bit to find ones balance while properly making trasactions etc. I like going over the various styles which is almost (not quite) as fun as buying stuff and I get 50% discount although I have yet to use this option. I'm working tomorrow.........so off to plan an amazing Gap outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gap

2011-02-06T19:26:00.000-08:00

I start working at the Gap this week! How cool is that. My first day I get to try on clothes so I can assist people with sizes and all that is really exciting.

I have been enjoying playing in the snow with Storm so much every single day. We climb the really high snowbanks and slide down like a crazy person. I can't believe how much Storm loves this. It is great excercise as well as just fun.

Storm takes a turn

2011-01-09T21:51:00.000-08:00

This post is written by Storm Cimikowski-----Tracey

STICK

Today Tracey and I played with my special favorite stick that my dad had for me. I was so very excited that I jumped and twirled in the snow! Before I knew it Tracey snapped the leash on me and it was time for my walk and I walked by Katies house so I glared up there, but, she wasn't home. I checked and watched for cats and didn't see any so we went home and rested on my bed until next time.

The End

Melt down on Trot

2010-12-16T15:18:00.000-08:00

So once again my friend Tiffany from MS and Trot had a melt down on Trot and left which is like her third time she threw a hissy and left only this time nobody begged her to come back. When she threw a fit on MS people soothed her and asked her to come back so she did and Tiff was able to be happy for a bit of time. I have to say it is really funny how these horse boards are all women and the fights and backstabbing is just constant and nonstop. My gal pal Snowfool got some sort of idea on Trot that the poster Lucky was me and went after that poster with her claws out like an eagle on crack. Thankfully Snowfool did man up and apologize once she realized that somebody had lead her astray on telling her that this Lucky person was me which makes me hope that people will remember that these other posters don't always know everything.

Enough Trot excitement for now then.

Kind of a comfy day

2010-12-11T12:37:00.000-08:00

My Stormy got his nails done by super groomer Heidi today. Storm was able to have baby kittens walking around him sniffing him and doing halloween cat and hissing when he sniffed them. Needless to say I will have to bring Heidi some Lattes for her kind work doing Mr. Storms toes.

Next week is one exciting week since we have Fabrica and Jack coming up on Thursday to Friday then Friday we head to Boston for the Boston gay mens chorus. Saturday I have the Northgate Christmas Barn Party and Sunday I have Bikram yoga with Fabrica....woooo! I like fun stuff like that though. I need to plan some super fab outfits since I have not nailed down any outfits yet expect for some navy false eyelashes for the Boston trip yet. I need to watch some more youtube videos on styling my hair since that gives me some nice ideas as well. Why not I love to try stuff like that and it is cheaper than paying to have it styled since not working makes it hard to pay people to style my hair.

I tried a new coffee place in Bethleham and it was very very good. It is on my list as an enjoyable place to have a cappuccino. Brian, who has now moved to NC always suggested it and I was finally able to get myself there....whoohwoo!

Facebook v MS and me

2010-11-04T18:21:00.000-07:00

I take a huge compliment that my friend Silly Filly compared me to Facebook. Clearly this isn't true, but, the fact that in her mind I had as much impact on Modern Saddlebred as FB is somewhat empowering. At least it gives the ladies something to get the very slow forum going since they need something to nag and whine about in order to have a reason to view and post....lol. Thanks Silly you are the best!

Thursday 1:22 AM

2010-11-03T22:22:00.000-07:00

Well here it is 1:22 AM which is when I sort of start thinking I should go to bed soon. I need to be at my volunteer position by 1 PM tomorrow so I need to be up before noon it would appear. I need to paint my toenails, walk Storm, pack up my costumes and other outfits for our Friday departure. We need to be in Stowe VT by 1PM for our luncheon which I'm very much looking forward to.

I love walking Storm almost every single day when I get up which is usually like 11 AM but that works out great for Storm since he likes sleeping in as well. After that we shower and find a place to get cappuccino and walk storm while I sip my wonderful beverage. It is such great fun meeting people with Storm. My dog is like an ambassador the way he brings people together and it warms my heart. I'm very lucky to have a dog like STORM.

Equine Affair in MA November 14

2010-10-12T18:20:00.000-07:00

My sister and I will be helping to work the Saddlebred booth November 14 at Equine Affair in Springfield MA. I think it should be rather fun and a great thing to do. I have to say what made me really think about it is reading the pages and pages of women complaining about how awful WEG was yet they had not offered to help in any form at all so I decided that I had an opportunity to help so I would sieze it. My sister was quick to answer the call as well!

My Halloween costume has arrived!

2010-10-06T11:23:00.000-07:00

Big news that my Halloween costume has arrived and fits! Oh yes it has. I have tweeked it slightly and I am a "Tiger Trainer" instead of a Lion Tamer since lion tamer is just so darn cliche and all. I had to send the original cosume back and get a size smaller and I'm quite pleased with the fit, just have to grab a strapless bra or something and I should be ready to rock. I'm so glad that Stefan suggested the option of sending it back and exchanging not my orignal plan of tayloring the top to be smaller. Halloween is just so darn fun!

Trot.org is better than the Real Housewives of New Jersey

2010-10-05T13:19:00.000-07:00

I have discovered that the website www.trot.org is better reading than watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey! I happened to log on under my husband and I cannot believe how much these women fight about everything! They fight about Saddlebred rescue, they had a huge blow out over a Horse Illustrated ad, and I think the most current fight is about the World Equestrian Games....hahah! This is just in a couple of days as I'm sure I have missed a lot. I guess Miss Julie (whatever her last name is) is pretty darn tame compared to the major fighting that is going on. They are updating their "banning" policy in the future....lol there is going to be nobody left if they keep that up. I will have to take some time and read up on the current major fighting tonight. Stay tuned......

My Dad's birthday

2010-09-25T09:51:00.000-07:00

Sunday is my Dad's birthday and how sad it is that my Dad isn't here anymore. My mother sent a small check to put some flowers on his grave which I shall do and perhaps a cake or something like that. The sadness and guilt is quite profound or I can't even find the words to really express myself. It just doesn't seem right although I know that lots of people go through far deeper issues than this it just really took something away and makes me realize that nothing will ever be right again.

Volunteering rocks!

2010-09-24T21:42:00.000-07:00

I'm a volunteer for the Littleton Regional Hospital and how wonderful it is! My position is a roaming volunteer and I go in and out of all the rooms and visit with the patients, see if I can get them water, adjust lights, curtains, tv, get magazines, newspaper or just talk. I also take away a lot of food trays, get tissues. I will sometimes take patients out in wheelchairs so they arnen't stuck in their room so much. It is highly rewarding except that it doesn't pay and so the fact that my only job is a volunter does make things a little tight....he he. I have my favorite patient and I sure hope I get to see her again.

2010-08-25T07:59:00.000-07:00

Stormy!

2010-08-24T12:58:00.000-07:00

Just got a call from the vet that Storm my baby dog is doing after his surgery. He did have a total tear on his ACL and meniscus. He had both chronic and fresh injury the vet said which is exactly how it went down. Stefan and I cannot wait to get him home. My mother sent him $20 in the mail to get some new toys today although I used some to go and buy myself a jug of water. I can't help, but, thinking it is kind of funny to borrow money from my dog. We will pick Storm up Wednesday morning and we cannot wait to see his little face.

If I'm boring don't follow my every move!

2010-08-24T12:52:00.000-07:00

I had a friend on FB' that posted some sort of link about building a mosque on ground zero of 9/11 that people are wondering why this is a problem for some. In case you are wondering Leslie something or other I can't remember her name now is a hater of muslims so I told her that I don't think people are wondering why they don't want a mosque. If you are for or against it there are some pretty clear reasons about it. In any event she decided that I am totally socially unaware, boring and then decided to list every single event that I have done in the past two months on FB. Now I'm thinking that if I'm that boring why on earth would you follow my actions? I'm also bubbled headed! I guess I need to monetzize my blog if I'm going to get traffic like that going since I get these women that love to hate yet love to read me....lol!

Big day for Storm

2010-08-23T21:32:00.000-07:00

Tuesay morning Storm has surgery! Kind of nervous...I was asleep, but, now I'm up. 10 AM surgery in Hanover NH.

Last day of work

2010-08-23T21:26:00.000-07:00

Today was my last day of work at Shaws. I will start work August 30 in Woodsville Rite Aid full time as a RX tech which is good to be back in the drugs. I will miss the people so very much at Shaws though at least most of them. It was amusing the way the store manager spoke to me, but, never addressed that i was leaving not even a "good luck" I think the fact that I made more money than she thought I deserved was an issue. She also tried to cut my pay by $4 an hour but my pharmacy people didn't let that happen so it was a basic "in your face Aubit"! I doubt she forgot that one. At least I found a job that does me just as well. The floral/produce manager was awful awful! Cathy Corliss pretty much put the nail in my coffin and Rite Aid called at the perfect time to get me away. Sigh it is still sad and scary.
